Friends complete next task in year-long challenge for Pendleside Hospice

TWO friends who are on a mission to raise thousands of pounds for Pendleside Hospice are completing their latest task - a 24 hour sing-a-thon.

Josh Hindle, 26, from Barrowford, and David Smith, 31, from Nelson, are completing a challenge, randomly selected by the public, every month this year in honour of relatives who spent time at the hospice.

With the help of friends, they are entertaining shoppers at Tesco in Burnley with a sing-a-thon which started at 10am on Sunday and will end at 8pm on Monday with break when the Centenary Way store shut overnight.

Mr Smith said: "We have had a really good reaction from the customers with lots of cheers and donations."

The pair have raised around £5,000 so far. To donate visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/joshanddavidchallenge.
